Description
PAGID RS 42 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 2405) E240542010
A proven track-focused pad with strong, predictable bite and excellent control. RS 42 (also known as RS4-2 Blue) delivers stable braking from low to high temperatures, making it ideal for fast road, track days, club racing and tarmac rally where consistency and pedal feel matter.
Why choose RS 42
– Fast warm-up with confident initial bite
– Smooth, linear torque for easy modulation and control
– Low fade at sustained high temperatures
– Gentle on discs compared to more aggressive compounds
– Reliable lap-to-lap performance
Compound suitability
RS 42 suits drivers who want a balanced race compound without the harshness of full sprint pads. It offers good cold performance, strong mid-range bite and stable friction when hot. For heavy cars, aero grip, or long endurance stints, consider a higher temperature compound such as RS 14 or RS 29.
Typical use
– Track days and fast road
– Club racing and sprint events
– Tarmac rally and historic racing
– Lightweight to medium-weight cars
